Details

Wasps are very territorial creatures - an average wasp nest has a 200-feet territorial radius. Wasps will instinctively flee an area that contains an unfamiliar nest. This natural wasp deterrent works without toxic chemicals or baits. Instead, it simulates a real wasp nest with the shape, colors and patterns to deter wasps from building nests in the same area. Just think of it as a "scarecrow for wasps".

The Bee Free Wasp Deterrent is great for patios, children's play areas or anywhere wasps are a problem. It folds flat so it's easy to bring camping or backpacking.

Customer Testimonial

"I wanted to say that I have the Bee Free and it is terrific. We tried it for the first time last summer and actually didn't think it would work. We had a porch we could barely use because there were so many wasps. We put up the Bee Free and I could hardly believe it within a few days they had left our porch area. So simple and yet so effective and completely pesticide free. I just was outside rehanging the Bee Free for this year," - Celeste C.

Questions about the Bee Free Wasp Deterrent 2-Pack

This looks like just what I need. Red wasps and Yellowjackets are a huge problem here. I'm hoping to hang one of these up on both ends of the house before spring when the wasps become active. Would that be the best way?

Second question: do I have to worry about the fake nest getting wet or rained on?

Yes, your plan to put one trap on either end of the house is just the way these traps should be placed.

You don't want to leave these out in the rain, eventually they will come apart. But this should be no problem since wasps don't locate their nests where they would get wet. You want to place your fake nests where the wasps would put a real nest - under the eaves of the house is the most common location, but any dry location that is visible to wasps will suffice. You can also easily relocate the traps if you see wasp activity elsewhere.

The Bee Free Wasp Deterrent is made of treated paper over wire hoops. Left out in rain and wind, the paper will degrade over time. This wasp deterrent is best located in a protected location where wasps would likely nest. A common placement is hung from the soffits beneath the eaves of a roof.

We are interested in trying these, but live in a part of the country where the weather changes constantly. One hour it will be raining, the next it will be sunny and warm. Later it will rain again. I don't want to have to be constantly putting up and taking down the nests. Can you hang these in any weather?

Yes. The The Bee Free Wasp Deterrent will withstand rains and heavy wind. You do not need to take them indoors during wet weather.

I have a metal roof that comes down half way on my balcony with the remainder aluminum siding. The roof portion has about 20 square cylinder that the wasp are nesting in. Will the Wasp Deterrent work even if the next are already being build.

It is like a missile attack when you go out on the balcony right now as the wasp look for the correct cylinder where their nests are.

It is likely that the because you have established nests, the Bee Free Wasp Deterrent may not work.

In North-East Georgia we get torrential blowing downpours of rain frequently throughout the Summer and Fall. Are the "Waspinators" WATERPROOF or will they fall apart like a wet paper bag. Obviously the red paper wasps nests made from wood are rainproof. What MATERIALS are these made from? Thanks!

Unfortunately the Bee Free Wasp Deterrent is not waterproof, as it is made of a paper composite. It is best placed in a protected area, such as under a roof.

We have yellow jackets on our rental property which seem to have nests successfully under the concrete steps, coming out of the cracks, living inside of the metal railings; they were surface chem sprayed by a neighbor which contaminates potentially nearby produce growing & trying to deter. In addition to this, in a separate area, a black wasp or hornets nest behind the rear view mirrors of our car, and possibly inside the engine under the hood (!) we are afraid to lift & find out the hard way. Do you reccomend the lures, or the waspinator, or both alternating? Building own traps can create swarms evidently. Please advise. We live in Central PA. Thank you for any advice. M

Setting out a trap may encourage swarming, as you mention. The waspinator (now called Bee Free) is a safer alternative and should be tried first. You may get lucky and have the entire population move away. More likely, the population will be reduced since it sound like you have a number of nests.

As for the car, go out at night with a red lens on your flashlight or headlamp and assess the situation. You should be able to remove the nest behind the mirror by pulling it into a paper bag. Be ready to twist the bag shut quickly, then have a bucket of water ready with a rock to submerge the bag. You can also (at night) prop up the hood and see if there is another nest. You may want to leave the hood open with a Bee Free nearby, this may force the bees to leave the car.

Once you have tried these methods, and the population is hopefully reduced, then you can use a lure to finish up.

I have a wasp problem around my pool in the summer time. They use the pool as a water bowl. I have been stung a few times now. Will the Waspinator work to keep them out of the pool? Or would hanging a trap be better or using both? Where would be the best place for me to hang them? I have a patio cover attached to the house. The distance from house to pool is about 10 ft.

Any help appreciated. Thanks

You may want to try the Bee Free before going for the wasp trap. Ideally, a repellent is preferable to a trap since you don't have to deal with the presence of wasps or with cleaning out the trap.

You should try one of these deterrent to see how it works within a certain radius. If the wasps appear on the other side of the pool, for example, then you know that another BeeFree will solve your problem. You may end up needing 2 or even 3 of these to cover the entire pool area, depemding on the size of your pool.

We have Direct Tv (Satellite) that has to come with a dish to get the signal .. the wasp love to fly all around it ( long metal pole with dish connected to it .. we live in apt but nothing can be put on the roof) but we can't see a nest.

Is the Waspinator light enough to hang from the side of a pole or below the equipment that is holding the dish ?

If we hang from side of apt porch would that still be effective ?

Thanks,

Liz

Yes, the Waspinator is very light and you will be able to hang it below the equipment, or from any of the dish supports. The Waspinator is ideal for the situation which you describe.

Wasp are coming to our hummingbird feeder. If we use the Waspinator will it scare away the hummingbirds also?

No. The Waspinator will keep the wasps away without disturbing the hummingbirds. I suggest that you take the feeder down for a couple days and put the Waspinator in a suitable location nearby. After a couple days, reinstall the hummingbird feeder.

This waspinator looks nothing like the nests built by many Florida wasps, so will it work here ? Will it work on Gueane Wasps (sp ?), the very small wasp that builds its nest under leafy plants, deck railings, wicker outdoor furniture, house soffits,etc.

\the Waspinator will repel guinea wasps, but if the guinea wasps are already established in an area, like your patio, then they may detect the new "nest" as empty and disregard it.
